I currently live in an "at-will" state.

Employers can fire you for no reason. There is no legal requirement to even give you a reason.

But, with a union, if your fired, you can file a grievance.

With this, the union investigates, and if they determine you were fired for a stupid reason, they can reverse the termination.

This offers you security with your job. Without it, and if you live in an "at-will state", an employer can fire you for your tie being crooked.

I won't go on to what else a union does, but the message is simple...

I want to say "screw you" to anyone who bashes the unions.

Anyone who thinks a union is bad, needs to educated themselves on what unions have done for people over the years.

If you think working 14 hours a day for min. wage, under the nose of a boss who can fire you for breathing is just fine and dandy, then bash the unions all you want.

Yes, there are good and bad unions. Some unions demand too much for their employees. These kinds of unions are the ones the GOP likes to smear to make all unions look bad. This is because the GOP likes to generalize, stereotype, and paint things with a wide brush.

My father worked for a rubber factory, which was union. He was fired twice for trivial reasons. If it was not for the union, he would of been out the door.

Do you know what large party wants people to work long hours, for little pay? The communists.

So either be a commie, or take the stick out of your ass, the dick out of your mouth, and QUIT BASHING UNIONS.
